Fun, hard, awesome people
Fun, hard, awesome people
All the people are excellent - smart, reliable, with great attitudes.
The work is hard and diverse, and you can go deep and/or wide.
You have a very high impact on the organisation as a whole.
A great feedback culture drives continual improvement across every part of our business.
The food is something else!
Not very good at international collaboration. We're just not used to doing it, so we don't do it well.
